How we handle shower tray repair in Shobrooke

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Our repair technicians work on ceramic, cast iron and stone resin, and people most frequently call us about cracks running from the waste and chips on the edges.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Shobrooke and across Devon.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Shobrooke

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

When can I use the shower again?

Generally the day after. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Related advice

When to call us in Shobrooke

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Damage around the waste
  • Movement when you stand on it

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Aftercare advice
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Repair or replace in Shobrooke?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Enamelled steel
  • Stone resin
  • Acrylic
  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Shobrooke. What changes the price is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
